PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, JANUARY 27, 1922
No. 17
MAIM DEBATE IS
SCHEDULED FOR
ЕВ1Ш10
P. H. S. Student Body Will
Go to Alhambra and
Support the Team
ALHAMBRA IS IN LEAD
Helen Jackson and William
Dekker Hold the Af¬
firmative
The result of the debate between
Alhambra and P. H. S. is extremely
important to P. H. S. as it will decide
the status of the school in the sea¬
son’s record of debating.
As every one has heard from one
source or another, Alhambra has a
fine team and at present is two and
one-third points ahead, therefore
holding the title of Pasadena’s hard¬
est opponent.
But one survey of the past records
of P. H. S. debating and one of the
present enthusiasm and energy dis¬
played by the coach, John G. Scott,
and the debating squads will banish
any fear that Alhambra might be the
visitor in the coming debate.
Helen Jackson and William Dekker
will uphold the affirmative side of the
question: Resolved, that Avar among
industrial nations can be abolished
during the present century. The neg¬
ative team will be composed of two
boys from Alhambra.
Alhambra is reserving half of her
gymnasium where the debate is to be
held for Pasadena rooters. It is to be
hoped there is a sliding wall in the
gym for no known gymnasium would
hold the crowd of rooters to accom¬
pany the Pasadena team.
This is the only chance. of P. H. S.
for championship. Lack of support
might mean black, dismal failure.
Success will mean that Pasadena is
well on the way to the Southern Cali¬
fornia championship.
The Event — Debate, P. H. S. vs.
A. H. S.
The Place — Alhambra Gymnasium.
The Time— Friday, February 10,
8 p. m.
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
PRESENTS OPERETTA
A most beautiful presentation of
the operetta “Polished Pebbles” was
given at the John Muir Junior High
School assemblies last Tuesday. It
was put on by the Music Department
under the supervision of Miss Mabel
M. Oaks, Music Department head.
From curtain to curtain the play
was brim-full of action and good
singing. Its success is due to the un¬
tiring efforts of Miss Oakes, who has
worked for months in preparing it.
CANDY SALE FOR RUSSIA IS
VERY SUCCESSFUL
The candy sale, for the benefit of
the starving Russians, which was
held last Wednesday by the members
of Miss Winslow’s Science classes,
was very successful.
The purpose of the sale was to
raise money to buy as much, flour as
possible to send with Pasadena’s
shipment to Russia. As a result of
this sale the class will have almost
$50 with which to buy their flour.

of the classes in the Evening School,

linery, Spanish and Stenography will

TO APPEAR IN PASA-
DENA TONIGHT
Alma Gluck, soprano, and Efrem
Zimbalist, violinist, world famous
artists, will appear this evening in the
auditorium under the auspices of the
Pasadena Music and Art Association.

and $8.00. The next artist to be pre¬
sented by the Music and Art Associa¬

er, pianist and composer, will play in

CANTATA IS PRESENTED BY
BOYS’ AND GIRLS’
GLEE CLUBS
Because of the hard work of the |
Glee Clubs under the direction of
Prof. Abraham Miller, head of the
Music Department, the cantata, “Don
Munio,” which was given last Friday
evening in the school auditorium, was
a great musical if not financial suc¬
cess.
The Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus
had been working on the cantata for
practically the whole semester, so
they were able to present it in a very
pleasing manner. Much of the suc¬
cess of “Don Munio” was due to the
soloists, who were: Ted Novis, Made¬
line Richardson, Robert Jaques, Alice
Fletcher, Frederick Paul and Arthur
Nelson.
The purpose of the cantata was to
raise money to help pay for the High
School’s share in the “Pasadena
Schools” float in the Tournament of
Roses. Mr. J, A. Anderson of the
Finance Department announces that
$25 was the financial result of the
affair.
The first teams of the Sophomore
vs. Junior classes played Monday aft¬
ernoon. The girls fought hard, with
the score in favor of the Juniors, 2 5
to 22.
The second Sophomore team played
John Muir varsity team, the score be¬
ing in favor of the Sophomores, 42
to 2.

PASADENA ORANGES ARE
NOT AFFECTED BY COLD
A large number of the High School
oranges were picked before the big
freeze and so escaped the frost which
was so disastrous to many fruit grow¬
ers. All of the trees at the High
School have not been examined yet
but those that have been were not
affected by the frost.
These oranges though small are
very sweet and juicy. They can he
bought now at Mr. Hunter’s office at
3 Yz cents per pound.

night, 8 o’clock, is the time set for
the “big doings.”
The various Senior Class commit¬

working hard to make it a success.
The refreshment committee, of which
Grace Burns is chairman, has planned
for “eats” galore. Virginia Mowatt is
in charge of the decoration commit¬
tee, while Lathrop Leishman and
John Rowland have been working

COMMUNITY PLAY HOUSE
PRESENTS “KING LEAR”
JAN. 26 TO FEB. 5
In accordance with their custom of
giving each year a Shakespearean
drama, the Community Players put
on “King Lear” which began last
night and will continue until Febru¬
ary 5. Tonight is high-school night.
This is the eighth season in which a
Shakespearean drama has been given
and it originated from the request of
the patrons that more of Shakespeare
-might be given.
The cast is splendidly made up,
several P. H. S. students appearing.
Those from P. H. S. are: Vera Pratt,
Edythe Lea, Ruth Jackson, Brewster
Stevens, and Victor Jory.
CRASH! OUCH! BIFF!
DIDN’T I SAY HIT EASY?
Yes, sir, we was boxin’. No, sir,
we wasn’t fightin’. Yes, sir. Thank
you, sir. Would you like to box, sir?
You are too busy? Yes, sir.
It doesn’t pay to trifle with any of
the fellows of this here 2nd period
boxing class. Watch ’em some day.
Vic picks out two of them and they
finally come forward, wobbling their
knees, and telling each other to hit
easy. Whereupon they tear into each
other and in about two minutes Vic
pulls ’em apart again, and two more
start. Step lively there! Next!

NEW SAVINGS BANK TO BE
OPENED NEXT MONDAY
That the new savings bank at
P. H. S. will be successful has been
shown by the fact that many students
have already tried to make deposits.
A telegram authorizing the open¬
ing of the bank has been received
from the Commissioner of Banks,
Jonathan S. Dodge.
The savings bank is in co-operation
with the Security Trust and Savings
Bank of Pasadena and plans have
been made to conduct the affairs the
same as the downtown banks. The
funds are to be safeguarded equally
well.
It is the custom of the banks not
to accept a savings deposit of less
than one dollar, but it has been ar¬
ranged so that a deposit as small as
ten cents can be made at the P. H. S.
Bank. Those depositing less than one
dollar will be given a card upon
which their name, address, and the
amount deposited will be written.
When the sum is a dollar or more
the card can be taken down to the
Security Trust and Savings Bank
where the card will be replaced by a
pass book. The interest given will be
4 % and will commence when the
card has been taken to the down
town bank. Refunds will be given at
the Security Trust and Savings Bank
and not at the P. H. S. Bank.
The forms are now being printed
in the High School print shop.

Guest,” A. L. Thorp and Josephine

effects were not elaborate, the pro¬
ductions as a whole show hard work
and merit praise.

ASSEMBLIES ON NEW
PLAN NEXT SEMESTER
Owing to the fact that several hun¬
dred new students will enter school,
a new plan will be used for the hold¬
ing of assemblies next semester. The
Junior assembly will be discontinued.
The seating of the students will also
be changed.
The students will sit by classrooms.
That is, the members of each third
period class will sit together.
Two assemblies will he held each
week. On Tuesdays, there will be an
assembly for one half of the stu¬
dents, made up for the most part of
Freshman and Sophomore class¬
rooms. The other half of the stu¬
dents will remain in their third
period classes. On Thursdays, these
students, mostly upperclassmen,
hold their assembly, while the lower
classmen stay in their classrooms.
Each one of the assemblies will he
the length of the assemblies now
held.
MANY SUBJECTS
OFFERED AT P. H. S.
Although there will be a few
changes in the programs of some of
the classes, next semester, the ma¬
jority of the classes will be the same
as before. That is, although nine-one
English will automatically become
nine-two English, still these classes
will in all probability be at the same
period and in the same room. Books
will be collected today and redistrib¬
uted Monday.
NEW SHORT COURSE
The home-making classes are now
having a short course in home nurs¬
ing. Mrs. Abbott, the school nurse, is
in charge of this course, which con¬
sists in lectures and demonstrations.
The home-making girls find it not
only a very interesting one, but one
that will be of value to them later on.
